אז כשראה הנס עלה בלבו שישיר שירה אבל מדרשו אמרו רבותינו זכרונם

לברכה, מכאן רמז לתחיית המתים מן התורה

Then, when he saw the miracle,he desired (went up in his heart) to sing a song כי גאה גאה: שנתגאה על כל גאה כתרגומו. דבר

אחר בא הכפל לומר שעשה דבר שאי אפשר לבשר ודם לעשות, כשהוא נלחם בחבירו ומתגבר

עליו מפילו מן הסוס וכאן סוס ורוכבו רמה בים וכל שאי אפשר לעשות על ידי זולתו נופל בו לשון גאות, כמו כי גאות עשה, וכן כל השירה תמצא כפולה עזי וזמרת יה ויהי לי לישועה ה' איש

מלחמה ה' שמו, וכן כולם. דבר אחר כי גאה גאה על כל השירות, וכל מה שאקלס בו עוד יש בו

תוספת, ולא כמדת מלך בשר ודם שמקלסין אותו ואין בו:

according to the Targum . Another explanation: doubling of the verb comes to say that He

did something impossible for a flesh and blood person to do. When he fights with his

fellow and overwhelms him, he throws him off the horse, but here, “a horse and its rider He

cast into the sea,”. Anything that cannot be done by anyone else is described as great like “for He has performed an great act ” . Similarly,] the entire shira you will find the

repetitive pattern, such as: “My strength and my praise are the forever, and He was my

salvation” ; “The Lord is a Master of war; the Lord is His Name,” ; and so on, all of them).

means for He is גאה גאה :Another explanation great beyond all praises, for however I will

praise Him, He still has more praise. unlike a ,human king

סוס ורכבו: שניהם קשורין זה בזה והמים מעלין אותם לרום ומורידין אותם לעומק

ואינן נפרדין:a horse and its rider Both stuck to one another, and the water lifted them up high and brought them down into the water, and they did not separate.

זה אלי: בכבודו נגלה עליהם והיו מראין אותו

Possuk כ ותקח מרים הנביאה אחות אהרן את התף בידה ותצאן כל הנשים אחריה

בתפים ובמחלת: Miriam, the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took a Tambourine in her hand, and all the women came out after her with tambourines and with dances. that can make some great music you know. Possuk כא ותען להם מרים שירו ליהוה כי גאה גאה

סוס ורכבו רמה בים:And Miriam called out to them, Sing to hashem, for he is GREAT a horse and its rider He threwinto the sea Possuk כב ויסע משה את ישראל מים סוף ויצאו אל מדבר שור וילכו שלשת ימים במדבר ולא

מצאו מים: Moses led Israel away from the yam suf , and they went out into the desert of Shur; they walked for three days in the desert but did not find water. OH NO Possuk כג ויבאו מרתה ולא יכלו לשתת מים ממרה

כי מרים הם על כן קרא שמה מרה:They came to Marah, but they could not drink water from Marah because it was bitter; therefore, it was named Marah. oh no did they die? Possuk כז

ויבאו אילמה ושם שתים עשרה עינת מים ושבעים תמרים ויחנו שם על המים:They came to Elim, and there were twelve water fountains and seventy palms, and they encamped there by the water.

There are 3 ways of sweetening bitter waters:

1.Dilution with large amount

באצבע, ראתה שפחה על הים מה שלא ראו נביאים

He revealed Himself in His glory to them and they pointed at Him with their finger .By the sea, even a maidservant saw by the sea what even the neviem didn’t see

טבעו: אין טביעה אלא במקום טיט, כמו

טבעתי ביון מצולה, ויטבע ירמיהו בטיט, מלמד שנעשה הים טיט לגמול להם כמדתם, ששיעבדו את

ישראל בחומר ובלבנים: The word טביעה is used] to a place where there is mud, like “I have sunk ; into the mud” that the sea became mud, to pay back them according to their behavior,] that they enslaved the yidden with] clay and bricks.

כמו אבן: ובמקום אחרצללו כעופרת, ובמקום אחר יאכלמו כקש, הרשעים כקש הולכים

ומטרפין עולין ויורדין, בינונים כאבן, והכשרים כעופרת, שנחו מיד:

, it says, “they sank like lead.” Still , it says, “it devoured them like straw.” the most wicked were treated like straw, constantly tossed, rising and falling; the average ones like stone; and the best like lead they sank immediately

ימינך ימינך: שתי פעמים, כשישראל עושין את רצונו של מקום השמאל

נעשית ימין:Your right hand twice the left hand becomes a right hand as strong as a right hand

נטית ימינך: כשהקב"ה נוטה ידו

הרשעים כלים ונופלים, לפי שהכל נתון בידו ונופלים בהטייתה וכן הוא אומר (ישעיה לא ג) וה' יטה ידו וכשל עוזר ונפל עזור. משל לכלי זכוכית הנתונים בידי אדם, מטה ידו מעט והן נופלין

ומשתברין:When Hashem inclines His hand, the wicked perish and fall, because all are placed in His hand, and they fall when He inclines it. Similarly, it says: “and the hashem shall turn His hand, and the helper shall stumble, and the helped one shall fall”. This can be

Thats A Wrap!!!!!!

of freshwater (opinion of everyone) 2.Transforming bitter water into a sweet one (opinion of zohar) 3. Self realization making you think the the water is good (opinion of yehoshua ben korcha) These 3 approaches correspond to the 3 methods of eliminating evil combatting evil with good revealing a much greater good that makes evil fade away teaching the evil how bad it is so that it no longer wishes to be evil the latter method is the approach of the baal teshuvah who realizes that he is distant from hashem and abandons his or her former lifestyle for the better!

compared to glass vessels placed in a person’s hand. If he inclines his hand a little, they fall and break.

אלהי אבי: הוא זה וארוממנהו. אלהי אבי, לא אני תחלת הקדושה, אלא

מוחזקת ועומדת לי הקדושה ואלהותו עלי מימי אבותי:

the God of my father is this One, and I will great/praise Him. ה' שמו: מלחמותיו לא בכלי זיין, אלא בשמו הוא נלחם, כמו שאמר דוד (שמואל א' יז מה) ואנכי בא אליך בשם ה' צבאות. דבר אחר ה' שמו אף בשעה שהוא נלחם ונוקם מאויביו, אוחז הוא במדתו לרחם על ברואיו ולזון את כל באי עולם, ולא כמדת מלכי אדמה כשהוא עוסק במלחמה פונה עצמו מכל עסקים, ואין

בו כח לעשות זו וזו:hashem is His Name His wars are not with weapons, but He fights battle with His Name, as David said ,I come to you with the Name of the hashem Another , is His Name--Even when He fights war and takes revenge upon His enemies, He sticks to His behavior of having mercy on His creatures and nourishing all those who enter the world, unlike the behavior of human kings. When he is in war, he turns away from all his affairs and does not have the ability to do both this and that
